Flavours Of Taiwan Cuisine At Lee’s Taiwanese

Making its debut in October 2012, Lee’s Taiwanese has been applauded as one of the most authentic Taiwanese restaurants in Singapore. Living and working in Singapore for 20 years, Taiwanese owner Fiona Lee had indelible memories of her hometown which inspired her to introduce the authentic Taiwan street fare to our Singapore food scene. The concept behind Lee’s Taiwanese is the famous and very busy Keelung Temple Street night market, which is unique and fits with what the restaurant is offering.

Lee’s Taiwanese currently has two outlets in Singapore, both located in the West. The flagship outlet was opened at The Star Vista next to Buona Vista MRT, while its second outlet is located inside the JEM mall at Jurong East.

Taiwanese beef noodles is one of the most popular food among the locals, it is no surprise that you will find a bowl of the national dish at Lee’s Taiwanese. The beef noodle soup is served with fairly thick slices of tender beef meat that literally fall apart effortlessly in my mouth. I found the broth was a little on the bland side, as I usually prefer my beef noodles soup with a thicker and flavourful broth. The noodles had a good girth and elasticity, overall still hit the spot and I even clean up the bowl. The noodles also comes in the Beef Tendon & Shanks ($14.30) version which was newly introduced on the menu.

Pig Intestines & Meat Ball Vermicelli (大腸肉丸麵線 $10)

Small appetite diners can try their signature Pig Intestines & Meat Ball Mee Sua made from handmade vermicelli and condiments imported from Taiwan. The bowl of vermicelli has a lighter flavour soup base and I believed that the recipe might have been slightly tailored to suit the tastebuds of local Singaporeans. Chopped pig intestines and meat balls were added for a distinct texture to the mee sua, giving the dish a gooey, but slurpable intense briny taste.

Lee Taiwanese‘s gives a twist to the Singapore national dish of chicken rice, by introducing their version of Taiwanese Shredded Chicken Rice. I wasn’t really impressed by the rice as it was just ordinary white rice, but it was the tender shredded chicken and sauce that made the dish special. I wouldn’t mind if they pour in more sauces into my rice, just make it a good soiled one.
